[Games] Continue the Story Congrats Round Three
christina* and MsDahliaB, you missed the last round, so you do not get children for that round. Please continue the story from this point. I decided to change the rule about missed rounds a little. If you miss a round without warning, you don't get to make it up, you just have less children than the other players. However, anyone who knows they will be unable to complete a round can inform me and they will be allowed to make it up.
The Prompt
Two years after their last child's birth, and your couple is expecting again! This baby comes a few weeks earlier than expected, and at a very inconvenient/odd time. What happened? Was the baby premature, or did they just midscalculate the due date? What was going on at the time of the birth? For this child, their oldest child is so excited, they decide to let him/her help with the naming. They give the child a list of names within the theme picked for the last baby and allow her/him to choose. The baby's MN again honors someoen beloved.The Rules1. If you miss more than three rounds period you will be dropped. You do not have to make up missed rounds, but you do not get the children for the missed round.
2. Make sure you keep your book listed before your family so I can keep up with who is doing what story.
3. Please bold new additions. This can be done by using < b > name here < /b > without the spaces.
4. Ages are required.
5. IMPORTANT to note that the point of this congrats is to continue the story, and you are required to write at least a short paragraph about your family each round. If you don't like writing the blurbs, then this may not be the game for you.

DS: Charles Nestor "Charlie" Huntington-Ackerman (nb)Sunnie was only eight months pregnant when she went into labour, but the family wasn't supposed to leave to the city for another two weeks. The labour was quick and soon their third child, a son, was born at Eclipse. After getting to the hospital a few hours later, Sunnie and the baby got the clean bill of health and were able to leave the hospital a few days later. Although he was a month premature, the baby boy was in good condition. They gave Hana a list of names of authors (since they are avid readers) and let her choose one. Eventually they settled on Charles Nestor, after Charles Dickens and Nestor after Alexander's maternal grandfather. They all decided to call him Charlie for short.

Dimari was born a few weeks premature but thankfully there was a skilled healer near Aly and Nawat's home around that time, so she was delivered safely.
Mari is an itty-bitty thing and once the purple and red-ness went away it was obvious that she has her Mother's pale skin. Judy constantly mentions how Mari looks like a little flower or a tiny doll.

DD: Maxima Charlotte (nb)Two years after Antonia's birth, Elizabeth found out that she was pregnant again. Like the previous ones the pregnancy went very well - so well that Mr Darcy and Elizabeth took the children for a visit to Elizabeth's parents when she was already seven months along. Like so many others, their stay went on and on. After four weeks at Mr and Mrs Bennet's home and a couple of weeks before the calculated due date, Elizabeth went into labour on a trip to her sister Jane and Mr Bingley's home. Her and Mr Darcy's third daughter was born in the carriage. Since they hadn't been prepared for the arrival of the baby, Mr Darcy and Elizabeth hadn't settled on a name yet. When Cynthia showed a great deal of affection and excitement about her new sister, they decided to give her a list of names they both liked and let her choose one. After great consideration, Cynthia named the little one Maxima, to which her parents added Charlotte as a middle name in honour of Elizabeth's best friend Charlotte Lucas.

Around the middle of Kat's pregnancy, she and Hale decided it would be a good idea to let Max plan his own robbery, and let themselves assist. Max chose a relatively minor task, robbing the local toy store. While Kat was in the parking lot, in the getaway car, she went into labor. Frantically she radioed to Uncle Eddie and Markus to help. Markus drove her to the hospital and Eddie stayed with the car and Zack. The rest of the mission was fine and by the time Max and Hale arrived at the hospital, Abbie was three minutes old. Abbie had to stay in the hospital for a few weeks because she was two months early, but she was discharged with a clean bill of health.

DD: Rose Louisa BingleyThe Bingleys were proud to announce that Norwell had gained another young Miss Bingley. The specifics of the newest Bingley's birth were enough to put both Bingley's and Jane's families quite in raptures:Jane and her sister Elizabeth had each received letters from their sister, Lydia Wickham -- whose children, Georgina, George, and Liddy were still in the Bingleys' care. Lydia, who had been expelled from her home by her husband, Mr. George Wickham, had moved to London to pursue the stage. Thither she met a handsome young playwright, Mr. Peter York. Lydia wrote to ask Jane and Elizabeth to talk their husbands into procuring a divorce from Wickham, so that she might marry Mr. York. Jane, unwilling to see her youngest sister miserable, spoke to Charles; Elizabeth, unwilling to cause her husband pain, did not speak to Mr. Darcy. Therefore, it was Bingley who brought the unsavory business to Darcy. They went thither to Wickham. Whilst they were away, Jane and Elizabeth were visiting their sister Catherine in the village of Kympton. The distress of such unhappy times caused Jane to go into early labor. Elizabeth and Kitty, both experts now on childbirth, removed Jane to Pemberley. After another difficult lying in, a beautiful baby girl was born; the baby was declared healthy by the doctor. Several days later, Bingley and Darcy appeared, Bingley looking so disheveled and distressed, his coat was on backwards! After being assured that his wife and daughter were safe, he declared that the baby looked exactly like Jane.When the time came to Christen the babe, Frank was in such adorations of his sister that Charles and Jane decided to let their son name their daughter. Frank, beginning to show a likeness of mind to his favorite aunt, ran about the grounds at Norwell and Pemberley, looking for a flower pretty enough to name his sister after. When the vicar, who was also the baby's godfather, asked the girl's name, Frank whispered in his ear. Mr. Parker grinned."I baptise thee, Rose Louisa Bingley," he said, which delighted Jane and Charles. They couldn't imagine a name that suited their girl more perfectly.

Once again, Hal proved his expertise as a baby early warning system, excitedly informing his clueless mother one chilly morning that he wanted to help name his sister. Though Newt and Anathema were a bit shocked to hear that they were expecting another child, both were thrilled to be getting a little girl. The happy parents agreed that the baby's middle name would be Marjorie after their good friend Madame Tracy. Hal was granted his request to help with the first name, beind told that, since Freddie had been named after a British music great, his little sister should be as well. He spent many afternoons chatting with Adam Young, who had turned into a bit of a music expert. Hal himself had apparently turned into a David Bowie fan and set his heart on naming his sister after Ziggy Stardust. Newt and Anathema had no luck talking the boy out of his choice; he was kind of an oddball, but no one expected any less from a Pulsifer-Device child. And compared to his brother, who seemed incapable of shutting his mouth for even a second and babbled and shrieked and laughed nonsensically about whatever popped into his tiny ginger head, Hal was almost downright normal; mostly, he just broke appliances and reassembled them in useless and unrecognizable ways.

DS: Bedevere Bennet Darcy Perry just turned two and Elizabeth has just given birth to another baby boy, Bedevere. Anne was really excited to get a new baby brother and wanted to help out with the naming. Because of that, Elizabeth and Mr Darcy gave her a list of names they liked and let Anne pick the name the liked the most. The picked Bedevere because "it sounds funny". Elizabeth and Mr Darcy wanted to honor someone again with the middlename and this time decided to honor Elizabeth's whole family with the name Bennet. Little Bedevere joined the growing family in a very inconvenient time though. Elizabeth wasn't due until a month so therefore Mr Darcy had gone away to Wales. Elizabeth tried to get in touch with him but she couldn't reach him in time. When he came back home little Bedevere were already born. However he wasn't a small baby so the doctors must have miscalculated the due date. Mr Darcy is very proud of his family. Anne is his little angel who he loves dearly. His son's are very brave and proud of their father. And little Bedevere look just like Mr Darcy did at the same age!

Zanna was so excited when she found out she was going to have another little brother or sister, Elizabeth thought it would be a good idea to let her choose the name. Mr. Darcy agreed, but suggested they give her a list to pick from so the name would be appropriate. Zanna could already read with a little help, and when her parents presented her with a list of names from Shakespeare, she chose Adam, from the loyal old servant in As You Like It, for a boy and Rosalind, after the heroine of the same play, for a girl. Mr. and Mrs. Darcy agreed to give the baby the middle name Charles, after Mr. Bingley, if it was a boy, and Georgiana after Mr. Darcy's sister if it was a girl.Elizabeth thought that the baby was due in August, so when she went into labor on a hot July day everyone was stunned and worried. It was a very inconvenient time, too, for Pemberley was full of guests! The Bingleys, Elizabeth's friend Charlotte, Elizabeth's aunt and uncle, Georgiana and her husband, and Kitty were all there, not to mention all of the children between them!
